Saturday Excursion

AdvitCare Academy's

THE ORIGIN & MISSION

We know how hard our youth work during the week. Whether they are attending Advitcare Academy full-time, participating in our after-school lessons, utilizing our homeschooling resources, or engaging in our virtual student counseling— we see the dedication and effort they put in every single day.

Because mental health and well-being are just as important as academic success, we are thrilled to announce a initiative designed to give our students a well-deserved break.

What is a Saturday Excursion?

These excursions are designed as a pure "mental escape" for our youth! It's a structured chance to step away from screens and studies, get outdoors, socialize and simply have fun in a low-stress environment. Building lifelong friendships outside the virtual classroom.

DESTINATIONS

Every non-holiday Saturday, we host group outings at fun and relaxing locations. Because our student body is global, we run simultaneous excursions in our two major hubs: Albuquerque, New Mexico and Kyoto, Japan!

Albuquerque, NM Destinations

  • ABQ BioPark Zoo: Discover exotic animals and learn about global conservation right in Albuquerque.
